You gotta do more than just put the ball in the basket inefficiently. Doesn't pass, doesn't shoot well... no team that wants to win is gonna let this guy score 18 on 18 shots

All time bust :wow:
As in all time recruiting bust? b/c an "All time bust" is reserved for someone who was drafted #1 overall (or close to it) and ends up never coming close to living up to that pick. Emoni didn't live up to his 5* recruiting billing, but it was evident by his final HS year that he wasn't "generational." The "Next KD" label had evaporated completely by then, and he wasn't even #1 overall in his class anymore, and was firmly behind dudes like Paolo, Chet.

He's an all time recruiting bust, but there are plenty of 5* that never make an NBA roster.

Rushing the process was the biggest mistake w/ Bates.

Now hopefully this kid can grt his due.

Cavs goofie ass fukk.
As they could have gotten further in the offs. If they would have rsmped this kid.
You have a minor league system.
Use it.

shyt stoopid as fukk.
In baseball they have a grasp on this.
Even in hockey they know this.
sohh why in the fukk in hoops.
is the minor league concept so hard to figure out.
Oh i know hoops is an urban intellectual style sport. The people who run it are offbrand accountants and goofies. Who would have never survived a day on the black top in power. Not even casually. Basketball need to kill.
the inept shyt in roster management and scouting.
It ruins basketball permeation and draw.

He chose a hard path

Continued good luck to bro

"Chose" is such a great way to put it because he literally did. He could have learned how to actually play basketball at MSU, deal with adversity, etc. Instead he did some dumb shyt. I'll shoot him some bail on his father and circle tho: they did him NO favors. At no point was he told "this isn't working, you're not as good as you think you are." Because his team including his father were focused on getting to the dollar signs ASAP. But they fukked that up by allowing him to remain a one dimensional player with low bball IQ. Like...he really doesn't understand basketball lol. Which is why the Durant comparisons were always weird to me because KD clearly understands the game on a high level, and has for a long time.
